Nothing warms the belly and the soul on a cold winter’s day (or any day, really) like a big bowl of this beef bone broth-based soup. Thai Orchid Restaurant (203 N. Barstow St., Eau Claire) wins this category for the first time on the savory strength of its pho, which you can order with everything from tofu to beef brisket to calamari. Readers placed perennial Asian fave Egg Roll Plus (1611 Bellinger St., Eau Claire) in second place for the second straight year, while another downtown spot, Rice Palace (210 S. Barstow St., Eau Claire), made its way to third (though it will always be tops in the hearts of the V1 office lunch crew). —Tom Giffey
